Despite initial concerns about the bill’s passage in the Senate, it was signed by President Biden. Its inclusion by the House of Representatives in a broader foreign aid package for US allies forced the Senate to hold a debate.
In response, TikTok spokesperson Alex Haurek announced the company’s intention to challenge the new law in court. Such a hearing could potentially extend the execution deadline.
Considerable uncertainty lies in China’s stance on whether it will allow the sale of TikTok, given ByteDance’s significant intellectual property, including its advanced algorithms, is known for its reliance on user participation.
Haurek emphasized that TikTok “defied an unconstitutional ban” and vowed to continue investing in innovation to maintain a platform where Americans feel safe to share experiences and find inspiration.
TikTok CEO Sho Chu backed Haurek and noted that TikTok’s ban took neither the platform’s position nor the voices of its 170 million American users into account.
Rest assured we are not going anywhere The facts and the constitution are on our side and we hope to win again.
Chu said.
According to the law in question, the company ByteDance must sell TikTok’s US assets by January 19, 2025.
The law allows that deadline to be extended for another three months if the commission finds there have been significant changes in the company’s efforts to sell the business.
Experts say the approved bill would give the Biden administration a stronger legal basis to ban TikTok if ByteDance refuses to sell the business. Thanks to this law, official digital content stores such as the Apple App Store and Google Play will be forced to remove TikTok from their platforms, and hosting providers will not be able to offer services to host ByteDance-controlled services or websites.
The bill would also give the White House new tools to ban or mandate the sale of other foreign apps that officials believe could pose a threat to the nation’s national security.
The truth is that TikTok is completely controlled by China and can (and does) transfer American users’ data at the request of the Chinese government. And although the company itself declares a number of measures specifically taken to ensure that data remains on the territory of the United States, the United States government is not inclined to trust ByteDance and insists on selling the business.
